After getting frustrated with existing VNC and remote connection managers, I started building my own tool in my spare time.
Most of the solutions I tried felt outdated, had poor multi-monitor support, or became difficult to manage once the number of connections grew.
Over the last few months I've been working on ReMa (Remote Manager), an open-source remote connection manager that currently supports VNC and RDP.
Some things I've focused on:
- Multi-monitor support
- Encrypted credential storage (AES-256)
- Organization through tags and groups
- Fast access to frequently used systems
- A modern UI instead of the usual "enterprise software from 2008" look
It's still in an early stage, but it's already usable and I'd really like to get feedback from people who actually manage servers, homelabs, labs, or remote systems on a regular basis.
I'm not looking for compliments. I'd much rather hear:
- What feels confusing
- Missing features
- UX problems
- Bugs
- Performance issues
- Reasons why you wouldn't use it

I'd appreciate any feedback, criticism, or ideas. Thanks!
